A six-year-old from Ellesmere Port is believed to be the youngest person to climb Britain’s three peaks.

Lincoln Doyle, a Year 2 pupil at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School in Ellesmere Port, scaled Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon - a total height of 3,408 metres.

The young rambler is thought to be the youngest in Britain to have conquered the three peaks as seven year-old Steven Brown, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, was the latest child to be officially recognised for the achievement in June earlier this year.

It all began in September last year when Lincoln, who was only five-years-old at the time, marched to the summit of Wales’ highest mountain with his mum and dad, Emma and Andrew Doyle.
